Magma Global creates 100 new jobs in Southampton by opening new plant

A DEEP-sea pipe manufacturer is to create 100 new jobs by opening a new plant in Southampton.

Specialist Hampshire-based oil and gas pipeline firm Magma Global is creating the new high-tech facility thanks in part to a £8.76m investment from the Business Growth Fund, which was set up to help small and medium-sized UK businesses.

The new plant, which the company said will be built on a brownfield site in Southampton with deepwater access, will make the next generation of carbon fibre pipes that can enable oil and gas companies to access harsher undersea environments.

With existing technology reaching the limit of their capacity, Magma hopes to capitalise on the need for a composite alternative that can cope with the demands of operating under higher pressures, while offering benefits of weight, resistance to corrosion and ease of installation.

Magma, which currently employs 90 people at its Porstmouth base, is aiming to take advantage of one of the fastest-growing markets within the oil and gas industry, in which British expertise and technology is already leading the world.

Pipelines are expected to account for more than half of the $139bn (£87bn) projected spend on under-sea hardware over the next five years.

The Southampton plant will be able to produce up to 250km of pipe a year.

It will make pipes up to 4km long which can be stored on a spool and taken away by installation vessels from the deep water quay, to export pipe to international markets, and provide a platform for further international expansion.

As well as BGF, Magma has attracted funding from a Canadian specialist energy investor and Danish venture capital firm for the new facility.

Magma’s founder and chief executive, Martin Jones said: “In the last two years we have grown from a team of five to a total workforce of 90 and an order book of in excess of $70m.”

Ideal place would be the old Burt Bolton timber yard and quay, plenty of space to have the freedom to expand if needed, plenty of laying down area for the spools and any thing else that they need to store while waiting on a ship.

Some thing like that needs to be at the bottom of a river and have its own personal quay, if you had a boi mass on Bolton land there would only be one way the wood chip could get in the yard and that is by road, the overhead power lines would rule out a wood chip carrier ship.

Where are these jobs being advertised. I went onto Magma website and no mention of jobs southampton. Not even a mention of opening a new plant here. I registered on Magma's web site but could not find any jobs advertised.

Why? tried saving jobs by cutting pay only for Labour to restore pay & cut jobs so why will it upset the Tories?
So the coalition Government has created more work for the city? after all you & this Labour Council blame them for job cuts so it must be down to them that more jobs have been created under them than under Labour YES?

You should not have informed us of your experience because it is not the sort of thing that Shoong wants to read.

Maybe he will suggest that you consider a career in Negative Spin.

You fail to understand that the jobs created are far less than the jobs that have been lost, thanks to the incompetence of this Cameron government and the restrictions placed on Councils.

If, as you say, this Tory-led coalition government has created more work in the city, can you tell us all how many more jobs have they created than have been lost, and where these jobs are?

Sorry more people in work than at any time means only job losses?
Why is there 2.5 million unemployed with this fact? has it anything to do with Browns B+lls up on allowing Eastern Europeans in here so quickly?
Is it because they'll do jobs for wages our people wouldn't do or is it that the real level of those who refuse to work is now nearer the 2million mark?

Labour Government got unemployment down to 1.6 million while they was in office, it was one of things that they did get right, as soon as the Torys was in the unemployment started to rise.
Employers like overseas workers they are not subject to the NWL for the first 6 mths and then they get rid of them and bring in a new oversea worker.
2.5 million unemployed is not the total figure, unemployment is broken up into 4 sections and it do not count those on DLA or ILA

So Southy banks shedding thousands of jobs after we bailed them out.
3.5million extra workers on the job market from eastern europe?
the actual amount of people working is far greater now than it has been before.
this isn't a Tory statistic this is the truth.

I note that Honda, who you claimed as a Thatcher success story, is cutting 800 jobs at their Swindon factory.

They took on workers when Labour were in power, but not prospering under the Party of Big Business.

I heard it said that they Hoped to re-hire them, but gave no estimate on time.

Production has fallen considerably and doubt that they will increase staff until sales pick up.

Not Low, just Fact.
